ReptiSun vs. Arcardia?

[Jess]

So, my ReptiSun will need to be replaced at the end of the month, and I'm trying to decide if I should stick with them or try an Arcardia 12%. For those of you who tried the new lights, did you see a difference in your beardie?
I'll probably just try the Arcardia, but I want to know if anyone's seen visible changes since switching.

I've been keeping an eye on this for the last couple hours, hoping someone would answer, because I'm interested too. Hoping this reply will bump up the thread and someone will answer.

I had Hugo in a 30 gallon tank with the ReptiSun 10.0. When I changed him to his new 4x2x2 viv, I went with the Arcadia T-5 D3 12%. The distance from the bulb and basking spot is 19", and I am getting good UVB readings. The viv is also a lot brighter. As far as any noticeable difference in his behavior/eating, no difference. He is growing and eating great. But he did this before the change. I have my light mounted in the front instead of the back, and I like the fact that there is no glare.
